Daily Observations !


to Minnesota. Mr.. Wash Poor is in
very bad physical condition, being unable
to leave his house now. The Wood
Coffman Baler and steam engine is il
town this evening. This is grand ma
chine, and one look at it ought to con
vince the people of Jackson that its man
ufacture here would be great thing fol
the town. n. S. E. Brookins tells gooG
joke on himself. A few days ago he came
down on the G. w. s. 3. road, and brought
with him jug, well filled. Silas is {
Prohibitionist, and he had scarcely gotter
into his store when three or four of his
party friends came following the jug an6
SiIas into the room. And they had g
good time over the contents of that jug
1t was-was-oh-the medicated water
from the Hamden gas well. Rev. L
B. Bradrick and wife are visiting o. S
Miller. They were in attendance at the
M. E. Prayer Meeting tonight. "A
gentleman named Morgan, from Pike
County, is circulating petition here to-
day, for the parole of Tommy Morgan,
his son, who was sent up in 1884, for ten
years. for murderously assaulting Mr..
John johnson, of Franklin Township
THURsDAY.-We met Mr. James Meach-
am Sr. at his home near Mount Zion, to-
day. The old gentleman looks fieshy and
stout, but has a slow way of getting
about since his stroke of paralysis. 49,.
Messrs. Hardy and Virgins had good
meeting at the Crescent tonight. The
Band was out, and there was lively
meeting. Mr.. Hardy's arraignment of
the Democracy, and especially of Grover
Cleveland, was decidedly amusing-to all
but Democrats One Democratic friend
remarked to US after the meeting that
Hardy did nothing but wave the bloody
shirt" Well, the awful bloody shirt is the
principal feature in the Democratic re-
cord. Hence the objection to waving it.
DR.. Kitchen our Representative,
was chairman of the meeting tonight.
THE Baling Machine has been placed
at Huron Furnace, where it will be kept
dry and clean, and it will perhaps give
exhibitions of work. This machine ought
to be manufactured in Jackson. =. Jack
son certainly never had better street
commissioner than at present. 49,. Kate
Bum and John Pyles were married to-
day.. The young men have a lively
time playing ball every evening almost,
save Sunday evening. IA number of
Jackson hunters have been tramping over
some of the places in Liberty Township
in manner which causes kick on the
part of the owners thereof. A few nights
ago they ran through the yard of one far
mer, arousing himself and his family
with their howls and the yelling of their
dogs. Hezekiah Brill shot dog for
party of them some time ago. Hunters
who travel only in the night season ought
to keep to the woods-or, what is better
still, go home and go to bed.
FRID1Y.-A terribly windy, clustering
day ..... There are reports of numerous
accidents. A man named Goodrich was
badly hurt, above town few miles, by
being struck with a pole, while loading
hay or straw. A son of John Butts re-
ported killed in a mine up the creek, and
a report that man named Woods was
killed over near Limerick. :. About
half past eleven o'clock to-day an alarm
of fire was given, caused by slight blaze
at the residence of A. w. Long. The
horses were long way off, and the en-
gine did not get out until the fire had been
extinguished. though it would have been
on hand shortly had the fire lasted any
time. It seems to be the luck of these
horses to have hard run of it whenever
there is an alarm, and one of them draws
his breath now good deal like tow
boat, going up stream 49,. Conner Jones,
of Oak Hill, has been spending day or
two with Jackson friends. .....W. III.
Horton has just returned from visit to
Pike County. While there he had an op-
portunity of seeing the method of raising
the fish known as German Carp. A few
were taken out of the pond and placed in
a tub, when the children at the house fed |
them, the fish eating from their hands,
These fish eat corn, like so many pigs. |
TO any farmer having a good strong
spring of water on his place, the raising
of the Carp offers valuable inducement.
IA party of fox hunters short time
ago were raiding David Reigel's place,
when the dogs got after sheep, chasing
it so closely that it ran to the house, |
jumping on the porch with such mo-
as to break down the kitchen
door The young folks are taking
considerable interest in the Chautauqua
Spare Minute Circle. -. Judge Delaney
has started shop in the building oppo-
site Graham's on Main Street. -. VIM.
Bennett, of Cove, is in town to-day. -.
The walls of the new Presbyterian Church
are about up. The Jackson Band, at

finest playing ever heard here.

chester, called. Mr.. Plummer is not in
robust health. Mr.. Henry Jones, of
Clay, called. He's 1st o. III. A. man.
......I. N. Scothorn, of Limerick called
to-day. Mr.. Scothorn has been appointed
a Notary Public. We had a visit to-
day from Coles, teacher of the Sinner
School, Scioto Township. Johnny

of the store this morning, slipped and
fell, bruising his face somewhat. Rev. |
j. G. Arbuckle preached splendid SER
mon at M. E. Church tonight :. :. The
Burt boarding house has been beautiful
ly painted These cool days are sug-
gestive of shooting matches, hunting eX-
ploits, and the like. Mr.. w. d. Trago |
tells good story about the "raffies" they
used to have in Jackson, some years ago. |
